Facts
The assessee, a co-operative society, had its case selected for scrutiny. Despite being granted multiple opportunities, the assessee failed to make submissions before the CIT(A)/NFAC. The CIT(A)/NFAC dismissed the appeal ex-parte.
Held
The Tribunal restored the issue to the file of the CIT(A)/NFAC, directing it to grant one final opportunity to the assessee to present its case with requisite details. The assessee was also directed to appear without seeking adjournments.
Key Issues
Whether the CIT(A)/NFAC erred in dismissing the appeal ex-parte without considering the factual dispute regarding the allowance of deduction u/s 80P, and whether the assessee should be granted a final opportunity to present its case.
